I see we've reached 70k Subscribers!!! Congrats!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you!

[@TisButAScratch666]

They deserve more!

[@pcarrizal6829]

I would like to see another Fliptown with both of you playing using the variant

[@Wunder]

These are my favorite type of videos! Broad and covering a lot of games while still insightful.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Aw thank you! We're glad you enjoy them!

[@kellyalvarado6533]

Whooo hooo! First time YT actually notified me of a new video. I am usually seeing them 2 years later. 😂😅

[@BeforeYouPlay]

HAHAHA!!

[@marielaporte4668]

Just got ArcheOlogic and Fliptown: can't wait to play :) thx for your reviews!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Definitely our 2 favs out of the group!

[@CamObscura88]

I love King of Tokyo still! My favorite version is the Dark Edition. Really fantastic art in a new version of the base game but comes with a few aspects of the best expansions (power up cards etc.). Also, because it looks so different, I’m way less tempted to buy more expansions which helps me out 😂

[@kauisurfer13]

I just got my copy in today and my first solo play round was 69, Pioneerin Homesteader. Yeehaw 🤠

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yeehaw!!

[@EmmaNovaheim]

If you like deduction, you should try out Infiltraitors. It's a co-op game, with scenarios like The Crew, but deduction based. My group who love The Crew fell in love with this game!

[@MascoNL]

Flip town sounds and looks a lot like Pioneer Rails tbh. Looks interesting enough to put on my wishlist though! 🎉

[@getgaymin]

Steve is a genius and Fliptown is a masterpiece.

[@kylewinston]

Hey Monique, since yall like deduction and you enjoyed Clue, have you tried Awkward Guests? It’s a great modern Clue deduction game.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi! Yes, it's one of my favorites! It breaks my brain though lol

[@TheSpider-hs4jo]

I love King Of Tokyo for a fun/easy group game even for seasoned gamers! i think the base game is super solid and the expansions add fun variations. I would like the new monsters in my collection but im curious if base King Of Tokyo really needs a simpler introductory game like "KoT: Origins" 🤔 it almost feels more like they're just remarketing version one, which was simple but a mega hit.

[@Shoitaan]

Flip town is much better than it has any right to be! I'll never play without the Texas hold em variant though as making poker hands is basically impossible/ pure luck without it.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

So many people have recommended that variant, looking forward to trying it out!

[@susanoerter1419]

King of Tokyo sounds perfect for my October month of killing monsters.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hahahaa sounds like a great month!

[@thierryvilboux2669]

King of Tokyo is a great game. We usually play it with most expansions. We also have King of New York where you can district buildings and can get attacked by the military 😊 I love Touring Machine, i am sure I will be getting Archeologic. Thanks a lot for the recommendations!!!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Which King of Tokyo expansion is your favorite? The Anubis expansion character is interesting. It throws a wrench in the gameplay

[@thierryvilboux2669]

@@BeforeYouPlay yes, this one is fun. I also like the costumes in the Halloween one.

[@thehammeroffury4337]

Just picked up Fliptown. The cowboy/outlaw theme had me interested in it. Enjoyed my solo playthrough. Should be a could filler game.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! It's a neat theme

[@hadzhere]

I love King of Tokyo. Normally I'm really unlucky with dice, but there's something about KoT, I almost never lose. :D

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Wow that's awesome, I almost always lose LOL. It's a fun one

[@oldplayer8025]

My only gripe with king of tokyo is that if you get defeated on 3 or more players, you just stand on the sideline till the next game.....still love it

[@jordon5491]

We house rule that if you die you come back at 5 HP and 0 VP if you had 11VP or less or you come back at 12VP if you had 12+

[@BeforeYouPlay]

That is true, there is player elimination. It's a silly one!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

@@jordon5491 OOooh that is an interesting house rule!

[@oldplayer8025]

@@jordon5491 that is a good house rule indeed

[@Krispe]

Hey guys, I messaged you on Patreon. I just joined but am unable to find access to the Discord. Would love to join, thanks!

[@shawns3911]

I just sold flip town at Strategicon…I found it a little “scripted” or something. And the size and usability were not great. Who knows.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Oh no way! I (Naveen) was hooked right after the teach. I love 'hold 'em too so that helps. We will be trying that cricket game soon!!
